Creating, Editing, and Deleting
Charts
Use
Use the procedures below to create, edit, or delete a chart.
When you create a chart, you group together various monitors. You can create a chart from scratch, or based on an existing predefined or custom chart.
You cannot delete a predefined chart or edit a predefined chart and have it under its original name. To create a chart based on a predefined one, you have to edit and save the modified preset chart under a new name.
It is technically possible to have up to one new chart with the same name as that of a predefined chart. However, we recommend that when creating a chart, you give it a name that is different from the names of the predefined charts.
When you create, edit or delete a chart, the changes you make become available:
● Only for the currently selected system
● For all users who work with Java System Reports
